ALLEN SAILRACER PROFILES, ELITE LEVEL COACHING FOR WEEKEND SAILORS

ProFiles, a new free on-line information product, launched this week, will deliver elite level coaching to dinghy sailors, claims Allen Brothers and SailRacer. By pointing their browser to www.allensailracerprofiles.com sailors can register and use ProFiles immediately and free of charge.

The UK performance sailing equipment manufacturer announced it has been working with SailRacer to deliver ProFiles to deepen its involvement with active dinghy racers. Describing the new service, Managing Director Liz Adams explained, “Allen has always built the feedback of top racers into its product. Our sponsored sailors include three RYA British Sailing Podium Squad members and two team coaches. With the launch of Allen SailRacer ProFiles, competitive sailors at any level can access data and top level analysis from selected races on-line and up their game to lead the fleet home. I see it as a natural progression.”

“Allen has a reputation for delivering race derived function and quality into its hardware. SailRacer is the UK’s leading GPS race reporting and analysis provider. When a dinghy racer is out on the water, he or she has two challenges. The first is sailing to achieve boat speed and velocity made good (vmg) to the next mark. The second is racing the boat tactically to beat his or her rivals. Allen Hardware has helped many a racer gain the performance and reliability they need to win in the past 60 years and now, thanks to a new initiative with SailRacer, sailors can also gain the insights and knowledge they need to take their racing to the next level. Thanks to Allen SailRacer Profiles, race analysis and professional coaching are now available to Olympic and club level competitors alike.”

Simon Lovesey, MD of SailRacer added, “We are already seeing racers use on-line race data to learn about a venue and get an edge on their rivals. Running a race on-line will help you work out where you need to be on the water in certain conditions, and with Allen SailRacer ProFiles you have an expert pointing out the moves which work and the ones which don’t. It is elite level analysis and coaching for every racing sailor.”

The new system is being launched with data from the 2015 ISAF Youth Worlds. However, SailRacer will also feature the ISAF World Team Racing event, taking place at Rutland Water from 19-24 July. This will provide users with data from Weymouth and Portland and Rutland Water.
